Overview

Our five-day sightseeing tour of Armenia, departing from Yerevan, will provide you with five wonderful days of gastronomic delight. Yes, Armenia is diverse. Even as tourism professionals, we have been traveling around our country for a decade, and every time we discover something completely new. Each region has its own color and taste, each mountain has its own character, and each gorge hides a new artifact waiting to be discovered, all of which change from season to season. However, we often don’t have much time to visit a new country, and in addition, we want to spend part of our vacation by the sea and part on new discoveries and experiences. So, the sightseeing tour is designed for this very purpose – five sunny, vibrant, and interesting days.

According to the program, every morning we depart from Yerevan on one of the country’s most popular tourist routes for new discoveries and return to the capital by dinner. So, evenings in Yerevan are also free for your own entertainment program – authentic restaurants, walks in parks and squares, the opportunity to visit concert halls and music clubs, and of course, shopping centers. By the way, the program is very versatile; it is suitable for any group of tourists and is convenient at any time of the year.

ARMENIA - WHERE THE SOUL RESTS
Aygul Kozlova
I have already spoken a lot about this country, but I want more. From the very steps of the plane you can see the majestic Ararat. Despite the fact that the mountain is located in Turkey, you can admire it in Armenia. With snow-capped peaks, it seems to greet you at the entrance. Ararat doesn’t always open, but we managed to see it in all its glory, and even the view from the room was exactly on Ararat. We immediately went for a walk around Yerevan or the pink city, because most of the buildings are made of tuff, which is mined in the country, holds heat well and has many different shades, but mostly pink. We walked along the central streets, visited the stele of the Armenian genocide, which was simply buried in flowers. Two days have already passed since the anniversary, but people came with families to honor the memory of those terrible events. We were in the opera house itself, a nice grandfather, and later it turned out that it was the director of the theater who kindly offered a tour of it and we visited almost all the floors of the theater, on the stage, in the hall, in the elevators for transporting scenery, for me it was an unreasonable favor Over the top, considering how much I love opera, ballet and theater! Afterwards, our guide offered to take part in the rally and we agreed. Everything was so peaceful, safe and calm. The Armenians were so friendly, so joyful, so united. I just watched them in admiration. The next day we went to one of the most famous monasteries, Tatev, where the longest cable car in the world leads through a huge gorge with waterfalls. The atmosphere there is disarming, such a sacred place with a stunning view and a kind abbot who gave us his blessing. Along the way we were in the village of storks, a bird cave, a winery, and at the Khor Virap lookout, where a picturesque view of Ararat opens and one of the ancient monasteries is located. The next day we visited rock monasteries, the largest lake in Armenia, Sevan, and the pagan temple of Garni. But the most memorable thing is, of course, the people. So open, so hospitable, who are always interested in you, always trying to please. A country that captivated me with its attitude, which, almost a year later, does not let me go, in which you feel at home, where you are loved and expected. Armenia is a poor country, there is little luxury and luxury holidays there, but it embraces its people, its soul, it is worth going there just for this. It’s not for nothing that they address each other with the prefix “jan”, which translates as soul. They address people not as a material body, but as a soul. Isn't that great? The only country from which I left with tears in my eyes and which so captivated my heart. A piece of my soul definitely remained there. In Armenia it is inexpensive, tasty and with soul.

Only now we were able to communicate with the client about the event. All guests, without exception, were very pleased with the trip. We especially highlighted the guide’s work at an ideal level; everyone was absolutely delighted. The only point that clients paid attention to – at the restaurant "Caucasian Captive" the waiters treated the guests harshly… For my part, let me once again thank you for the perfectly organized and executed event for our clients. I hope that our cooperation with you will definitely continue! Thank you!
